highly fatiguing, sorry.
i think you're low-mids are cluttered up and it's forced you to push the high end to get some spectral balance? sounds like you have some aliasing going on too....
fix the low-mids by clearing some material here, and you can then roll the hi end off.
furthermore, you have way too much bass on the stereo side, which makes things like the tom boomy as hell.... have a look at the lead guitars and see how you can keep their attitude deep and dirty, but the low-mid clear? panning the leads to extremes is all well and good, but if you want real power in your mix, you will need to keep their bass down the center....bass being, say, less than 200Hz.
i'm wondering now, if you have problems being able to actually balance the bass in your mix because of your monitoring arrangement, room, etc?
sort these major issues out and it will begin to take shape.
cheers
Dave
